Matter
What is matter defined as?
Matter is what everything is made up of. All matter has mass and takes up space.
Name three different types of matter around you.
gas, liquid or a solid object can be identified
Classifying matter based on its behaviour
Which state of matter has no definite size or shape?
a)solid
b)liquid
c)gas
gas
What is the difference between mass and weight?
Mass is the measure of matter in an object
Weight is the gravity of an object
What are the three main states of matter?
Solid, liquid and gas
In which state of matter are the particles close together with no space?
a)solid b)liquid c)gas
Solid
Classifying matter based on its behaviour
Which state of matter holds a fixed shape and does not flow?
a)solid
b)liquid
c)gas
solid
Define the properties of matter.
Has weight/mass and takes up space.
Name one example for each state of matter.
could be:
- air
- chair
- water
In which state of matter are the particles able to flow?
a)solid b)liquid c)gas
liquid
Classifying matter based on its behaviour
Which state of matter flows and takes shape of the object?
a)solid
b)liquid
c)gas
liquid
Which state of matter can not be seen or felt?
A gas
In which state of matter are the particles far from each other?
a)solid b)liquid c)gas
gas
Does a gas take up space and have mass?
Yes because a gas is a form of matter
Describe the physical properties of matter
Describe the physical properties of a solid object in the classroom.
Size, shape, temperature, weight and texture
